Last night I stood at your doorstep Trying to figure out what went wrong You just slipped something into my palm and you were gone
I could smell the same deep green of summer ´Bove me the same night sky was glowin´ In the distance I could see the town where I was born
It´s gonna be a long walk home Hey pretty darling, don´t wait up for me Gonna be a long walk home A long walk home
In town I pass Sal´s grocery Barber shop on South Street I looked in their faces* They´re all rank strangers to me* Well Veteran´s Hall high upon the hill Stood silent and alone The diner was shuttered and boarded With a sign that just said "gone"
It´s gonna be a long walk home Hey pretty darling, don´t wait up for me Gonna be a long walk home Hey pretty darling, don´t wait up for me Gonna be a long walk home It´s gonna be a long walk home

Here everybody has a neighbor Everybody has a friend Everybody has a reason to begin again
My father said "Son, we´re lucky in this town, It´s a beautiful place to be born. It just wraps its arms around you, Nobody crowds you and nobody goes it alone"
"Your flag flyin´ over the courthouse Means certain things are set in stone. Who we are, what we´ll do and what we won´t"
It´s gonna be a long walk home Hey pretty darling, don´t wait up for me Gonna be a long walk home Hey pretty darling, don´t wait up for me Gonna be a long walk home It´s gonna be a long walk home It´s gonna be a long walk home Hey pretty darling, don´t wait up for me Gonna be a long walk home Hey pretty darling, don´t wait up for me Gonna be a long walk home It´s gonna be a long walk home It´s gonna be a long walk home
